Tomorrow, Reef Heazlewood will surf his first heat of the Hawaiian Pro, the penultimate comp on the QS. The Hawaiian Pro and the season-ending Vans World Cup are both 10,000s - top dollar on the QS wheel of fortune. If Reef were to get above the quarters in one of them - or better yet, both - he'll be right there on the cusp of CT qualification.

Reef is currently at 18th, but at least three people above him will double qualify, knocking him up to 15th, and with two low scores registering in his total anything above Rd 4 is cream on top.

Anyway, numbers aside, here's a recent mix of Reef shot in Indonesia and Australia.

Dime a dozen, stock standard, nice easy entry day. Still enough to terrify some. Lost mutts yappin... seen a million of 'em. In the real, real world. Different to swillnutshell world there. All those years, all them fuckin' squwarkers, all them meek, grovelin' fuckin' 'hi's'... so fucking, absolutely pristine... completely untouched. Some shredded nicely too.

Imagine watching and sharing with a ledg on his MR twinnie, so fucking casual, so fucking owning it, on double and triple up, atomic spit days. But, that twinny squaring up, wanting that lip too. And finishing with a big figure 8. For years. Not a fuckin' camera in sight. Why would you bother. Surfers. Setting some one up so's its so, fuck knows what??? That all changed into this in the end. It is what it is. Bomb? Imagine seeing the newy ant's fucking bomb. The whole fucking bay, three avalanching bombs in one coming at ya. One foot of water coming at ya. Dwarfing the ant. Azza on a completely raw, triple up, moving, warping mountain, bay draining, dry, reef cracker. Pluming, autograph miles into the sky. Then the slobbing, contorting, mean, which ward and bed do you want fuckers, robo bombs, just daring any fucking one. Knowing no fucking one will even make eye contact.

I've got countless hours of junior recordings, his cameras rolling for hours, sleep walking on days like above. It all changed, is what it is. Fuck, if junior couldn't set a rail, if junior fell out of that nice entry one, then claimed it, the old boy would've bagged the shit out of him for weeks. So what if he fell, its called a wipeout. Should've leaned into it, set his edge. Wipeouts on bombs should happen a few times a session if your a junior pushing for your slot. Ya might as well all just fall at junior's feet now. Great kid. The other 'east a', 'kid' was too. Once. Junior's smart but. A stayer. Earned every bit of it. They're all great kids. Josiah. Junior Ferdy. Junior spud's coming too. Pasquale and dog batty's groms. It is what it is. Doesn't change what it was. Who could forget! 'Hey wow, ooohhh just look at you, yeh buddy, you're so fuckin bad and hot aye... ya reckon ya ready for this 'little' no entry,reef cracking and bay draining number I got up me sleeve... even the ant got smashed to a fucking pulp!!! And that was one he decided to make eye contact with... I've seen him look away plenty of times... all of 'em do whenever that left really feels like it.

It’s a wild wave Crypto, I’m sure you’ve seen some unbelievable things out there. I don’t doubt that for a second. Heavy place to grow up and call your local

Mental surfing. Well done.

Oh, and was that a brief cameo from my favourite Nusa Tenggara righthander?

Hi Stu,
Couldn't you have chosen a different thumbnail for the home page?
Bit of discontent around at the moment. Just thought i'd point it out.
